Fave Local Disc: The Suicide Kings' debut was a genuine joy, its country comforts laced with notorious self-saboteur Bruce Connole's clear-eyed vision. Front-Runner for '98: Whatever Dead Hot Workshop disc that includes the new killer song "Oh Well."
Brendan Kelley:
1. Modest Mouse, The Lonesome Crowded West (Up Records) This 72-minute double LP is the standard by which all other recordings this year were judged, and none came close. The Modest mice are the precocious bastard offspring of the Pixies' experimental aesthetic and Built to Spill's pop ingenuity, warped by guitarist/vocalist Isaac Brock's beer-soaked high-school-dropout trailer-trash perspective. And these kids are barely out of their teenage years. Pray they never "mature."
2. Elliott Smith, Either/Or (Kill Rock Stars) Smith's latest solo recording makes kids put down their guitars out of shame. Smith plays every track on this lo-fi acoustic masterpiece. Twenty years from now, when your kids (or grandkids) ask you what folk music is, you'll say Elliott Smith before you say Joan Baez.
3. The Get Up Kids, Four Minute Mile (Doghouse America) Scenario--hip-hop kid listening to this recording says to me, "This record makes me feel kinda sad and kinda happy at the same time; will you turn it off?" Intensely introspective, these Kansas City kids delve into subject matter that rips at your heart while you're pounding your fists in the air. This is the most intelligent "emo" recording of the year.
4. The Promise Ring, Nothing Feels Good (Jade Tree) Delaware and blue jeans and Chevys and parks & recreation pools and Heaven and quiet airplanes and pink chimneys and Air Supply and Southern belles and rafts; Davey and the Promise Ring boys have created the best pop album of the '90s, sonically and lyrically. "I'm proud of my genius just like a painter and dumb like a poet," as well they ought to be.
5. Joan of Arc, A Portable Model of (Jade Tree) The hardest recording to describe of the year--acoustic pop minimalism layered with "electronica" like you've never heard before. Vocalist/guitarist Tim Kinsella (who, along with bandmates Mike Kinsella and Sam Zurick and the Promise Ring's Davey vonBohlen were in the seminal math-emo Cap'n Jazz) is a master of pop deconstruction. Alternately tender and disturbing, A Portable Model of gives "concept record" a new definition.
6. Sleater-Kinney, Dig Me Out (Kill Rock Stars) Riot Grrl grows up. Though Sleater-Kinney didn't quite reach the masses to the extent the press expected, this is still the best recording ever to come out of Olympia, Washington's grrl-rock scene. Quite possibly the definitive punk recording of the year, Dig Me Out is a benchmark that transcends gender.
7. The Peechees, Games People Play (Kill Rock Stars) Lookout! Records' house band (vocalist Chris Appelgren and his wife, drummer Molly Neumann, run Lookout!; bassist Rop Vazquez works in the Lookout! store) busted out a recording seething with sex and slicked-back attitude. Forget pop punk, this is fucking rock 'n' roll. Sophomore slump, my ass--Games People Play is twice the recording last year's Do the Math was, and that's saying a lot.
8. Superchunk, Indoor Living (Merge) What can you say about a band whose name has become synonymous with the term "indie rock"? Superchunk released yet another classic this year, more layered, more mature, and with more organs. Will this band ever release a less-than-brilliant recording? I doubt it.
9. Lync, Remembering the Fireballs (part 8) (K Records/Troubleman Unlimited) A retrospective of the late, great Lync's seven inches and compilation tracks. Stalwarts of the early-'90s Northwest experimental indie-pop scene that spawned bands like Built to Spill and later Love As Laughter (which includes Lync's Sam Jayne and David Schneider), Lync was the precursor to all the simplistic pop seven inches covering your local record stores' shelves. The minimalist frustration anthem "Turtle" alone puts this in the Top 10.
10. Uranium 9 Volt, wild 7 (Lookout!) From the ashes of veteran East-bay bands Monsula, Sawhorse, and Pinhead Gunpowder (best-known as Billie Joe Armstrong's other band), Uranium 9 Volt came from outta nowhere (no press, no hype, no tours) with this six-song EP. Crunchy, loud, melodic emo-core that avoids the wuss-rock trap so many "mature" hard-core bands fall into. Angry music for sad people.
Gilbert Garcia:
1. Elliott Smith, Either/Or (Kill Rock Stars) Smith really isn't a folkie, he just uses a folkie's acoustic tools because his haunting tunes sound best in spare settings. He's actually a masterful pop songwriter, composing melodies so gorgeous that they enliven and enrich his simple, opaque lyrics. On "Ballad of Big Nothing," he gently sings "You can do what you want to, whenever you want to," and makes it feel heartbreakingly sad in a way that printed lyrics never are.
2. Cornershop, When I Was Born for the 7th Time (Luaka Bop) In a musical year defined by cultural collisions, this was one of the more exotic, and certainly the most accessible. Tjinder Singh is a Brit of Indian descent who gets off on house music and knows his way around the Velvet Underground catalogue, and his band's music is as wonderfully schizophrenic as such a bio implies.
3. Ron Sexsmith, Other Songs (Interscope) Lost in a world without empathy, the Toronto-based Sexsmith humbly sings with genuine compassion for Average Joes and Josephines like himself, and makes it feel like a new concept. "Strawberry Blonde" is the most beautiful track here, but it's the implausibly sympathetic "Child Star" that fully demonstrates how big Sexsmith's heart is.

Although it's great that this sunscreen lotion contains an in-part titanium dioxide sunscreen, the claim that this formula is "mild as water" is completely wrong. Several of the sunscreen actives have the potential to cause irritation on baby's skin, whereas plain water has no such concerns. Your child will get broad-spectrum sun protection if this is applied liberally, but the risk of skin stinging and problems with eye contact are real.
No Stinging, no tearing. As mild as water.
Active: Homosalate (15%), Octinoxate (7.5%), Octisalate (5%), Titanium Dioxide (2.4%), Other: Water, Isohexadecane, Ozokerite, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, PEG-8, C30-38 Olefin/Isopropyl Maleate/MA Copolymer, Glycerin, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Chloride, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Retinyl Palmitate, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Isopbutylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Alumina
Banana Boat At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive and widely distributed; various textures to please a wide variety of skin types and preferences; great selection of self-tanning products; some good sunscreen options with avobenzone or titanium dioxide (check labels carefully); excellent lip balm.
Weaknesses: Several sunscreens lack sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients; several sunscreens carry SPF ratings that are miserably low; clear spray sunscreen products include iritating alcohol; a selection of products that promote tanning; no sunscreens for sensitive skin; problematic sunscreens for kids and babies (due to their mild-as-water and gentleness claims).
As the summer months approach, Banana Boat's sunscreens are often seen lining drugstore and supermarket shelves along with those from Coppertone and Neutrogena. It's puzzling how many retailers choose to spotlight sunscreen during the few warmest months of the year even though the need for daily, year-round sun protection is well-established. Yes, people do spend more time outdoors and at the beach when the weather is sunny and warm, but if your goal is to avoid wrinkles, discolorations, and the potential for skin cancer, daily sun protection is a must, because sun damage occurs whenever skin is exposed to daylight and the sun's cancer-causing rays travel right through windows.
That said, does Banana Boat have you covered? Despite the fact that the majority of their products were reformulated in late 2006 with ongoing reformulations throughout the next two years, the answer is "No." It is shocking to me that cosmetics companies (especially those whose entire marketing angle is sun protection) are still launching new sunscreens without suitable UVA-protecting ingredients. Many of Banana Boat's sunscreens include avobenzone (and, to a lesser extent, titanium dioxide) for sufficient UVA protection—but why not follow suit with all of them? As is, the company's mantra of "Celebrate the Sun" will leave your skin vulnerable to cumulative damage unless you choose their products very carefully. Several of the sunscreens that get the critical issue of UVA protection right suffer from a drying alcohol base or problematic preservatives. Then there's the fact that Banana Boat believes that part of celebrating the sun involves promoting products that encourage you to tan. When it comes to a making a clear statement on safety under the sun, these products really miss the boat by trying to appeal to sun worshippers and those who take sun protection for themselves and their children seriously!
Note: All Banana Boat products contain fragrance unless listed otherwise.

And thanks to everyone who has donated so far!
24 October 2011
1) Favorite Vincent Price/American International Pictures release.
Perfect timing, what with the AIP Poe-a-Thon going on here now (some of which I've seen, some of which are new, all of which are awesome). For purely sentimental reasons, though, I have to go with the film that was both my first Price movie and my first AIP production: the robustly overcooked The Abominable Dr. Phibes.
2) What horror classic (or non-classic) that has not yet been remade would you like to see upgraded for modern audiences?
Given the batting average of horror remakes, I'd much rather not go there, but in the spirit of fair play: I should very much like to see one of those giant monster pictures from the '50s done with top-shelf CGI, and since Them! is my favorite of that subgenre, I will go with Them!
3) Jonathan Frid or Thayer David?
Pass, on account of complete ignorance of Dark Shadows.
4) Name the one horror movie you need to see that has so far eluded you.
I actually just last month plugged one of my biggest gaps, Carrie. I suppose I'm missing my fair share of classics, but the one I'm most excited about seeing is the new-to-Criterion Island of Lost Souls.
5) Favorite film director most closely associated with the horror genre.
Dario Argento. His miserable decline over the last 25 years is certainly not the sort of thing to inspire many good feelings, but he has an unparalleled run of movies in the '70s and '80s that contain within them some of the most individually perfect images in all of horror cinema.
6) Ingrid Pitt or Barbara Steele?
Barbara Steele, no contest.
7) Favorite 50's sci-fi/horror creature.
Everybody at SLIFR went with Godzilla, and though that would be my real answer, I want to be more creative. I will thus go with my runner-up, the brain creatures from Fiend Without a Face.
8) Favorite/best sequel to an established horror classic.
I can't help but feel that Dawn of the Dead is a total cheat, but there you have it. I suppose I could meta-cheat, and go with Zombi 2 instead.
9) Name a sequel in a horror series which clearly signaled that the once-vital franchise had run out of gas.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. NOES 2: Freddy's Revenge was a stumble that the series recovered from, but with Dream Master, it sank irrevocably into asinine visual puns and hugely derivative slashering, guided by the hackulent Renny Harlin.
10) John Carradine or Lon Chaney Jr.?
Carradine is an objectively better actor, and somehow, watching Chaney's descent into Poverty Row and lower just makes me incredibly sad.
11) What was the last horror movie you saw in a theater? On DVD or Blu-ray?
The Thing remake in theaters; Cheerleader Camp on DVD. My thanks to Kevin Olson of Hugo Stiglitz Makes Movies for putting me onto the latter.
12) Best foreign-language fiend/monster.
This time, I am obliged to go with Godzilla.
13) Favorite Mario Bava movie.
Considering how much I love everything I've seen of his, it's actually not even close: Twitch of the Death Nerve aka Bay of Blood is a black comedy delight, and my favorite "pure" giallo. Worse still: number 2 isn't even a horror film, but his Eurospy adventure Diabolik.
14) Favorite horror actor and actress.
Is Peter Cushing a "horror actor"? Let me then be safe and say Christopher Lee for actor, Linnea Quigley for actress. Not too late for them to collaborate!
15) Name a great horror director's least effective movie.
Too many John Carpenter films to pick from! But I shall go with Ghosts of Mars, even though I have not yet seen it all the way through.
16) Grayson Hall or Joan Bennett?
Since question #3, I have still not seen Dark Shadows, but I am at least somewhat aware of Joan Bennett.
17) When did you realize that you were a fan of the horror genre? And if you're not, when did you realize you weren't?
Want to see me lose all of my credibility ever? It was in 2007.
Before then, I had liked good horror movies, but being a horror fan means you also like bad horror movies, or at least you seek out and enthusiastically watch movies you know that are going to be completely unsatisfying. That year, for the inaugural Summer of Blood, I watched every single Friday the 13th, coming to them from a love of bad '80s movies, not a love of slashers. I emerged the man you know today, an unabashed lover of the foulest excesses of the genre.
Looking over my reviews from before that point, I suppose I was actually a horror fancier long before then, and certainly my love of zombie pictures goes back to sometime in college, but I can't help thinking that I became an expert as a result of that trial-by-fire.
18) Favorite Bert I. Gordon (B.I.G.) movie.
With some measure of reluctance, for I haven't disliked any that I've seen, I think I need to go with Earth vs. the Spider.
19) Name an obscure horror favorite that you wish more people knew about.
Traditionally, I am terrible at judging what's an "obscure" movie. I think that I would force every person with any interest in cinema to see Dreyer's Vampyr, but for a 1932 German/Danish picture, that's practically a blockbuster. I recently had a chance to see Ghost Story of Yotsuya, which Nakagawa Nobuo made the year before Jigoku, and I thought it was as beautiful and visually arresting as any Japanese horror film I've seen.
20) The Human Centipede-- yes or no?
I haven't seen it. I suppose that means "no".
21) And while we're in the neighborhood, is there a horror film you can think of that you felt "went too far"?
I was shocked to realise that I couldn't. The Italian cannibal movies dance right on the edge, but they pull back; most of the "extreme" horror pictures and torture pornos are not nearly as transgressive as they think they are. But even as hideous a sleazebucket as Joe D'Amato did his most notorious work outside of horror.
22) Name a film that is technically outside the horror genre that you might still feel comfortable describing as a horror film.
Ugetsu, which I would go so far as to call the best ghost story ever filmed, even if it's not particularly "scary" as such.
23) Lara Parker or Kathryn Leigh Scott?
Still haven't seen Dark Shadows.
24) If you're a horror fan, at some point in your past your dad, grandmother, teacher or some other disgusted figure of authority probably wagged her/his finger at you and said, "Why do you insist on reading/watching all this morbid monster/horror junk?" How did you reply? And if that reply fell short somehow, how would you have liked to have replied?
I usually wave it off - it still happens with my parents - but when I do feel the need to respond, it's typically along the lines of "horror is the best way to understand what concerns and fears about the state of the world where prevalent in the culture at any given point, not in terms of men with knives but in terms of the social currents those men represent." Or I will just point out that typically, great horror pictures have the best cinematography.
25) Name the critic or Web site you most enjoy reading on the subject of the horror genre.
I am not at all comfortable singling one person out, but if pressed I would probably have to go with Neil Fulwood at The Agitation of the Mind, whose every last essay is a perfect combination of fannish enthusiasm, critical insight, and good old readability.
26) Most frightening image you've ever taken away from a horror movie.
In The Shining, when Danny is riding on his Big Wheel, and he rounds the corner and sees those two ghost girls. A famous coup du cinema, with its Steadicam and dynamic sound design, but mostly it's because I can never, ever think about that shot without all the hairs on my neck standing bolt upright, as they are right this very second.
27) Your favorite memory associated with watching a horror movie.
The day a friend and I greeted the release of Land of the Dead by watching all three of Romero's previous zombie movies right in a row, with Shaun of the Dead as a palate cleanser before we headed to the theater. That it all ended in Land of the Dead does not seriously detract from the sheer volume of zombie goodness.
28) What would you say is the most important/significant horror movie of the past 20 years (1992-2012)? Why?
There are three obvious answers: Scream, which forced every English-language horror picture for 15 years to adopt a very irritating knowing detachment; Ringu, which introduced J-horror to the world at large and created the first serious challenge to the slasher paradigm in horror since 1980; and Saw, which codified and legitimised torture films and splatter cinema. I'm therefore going to be a complete dick and say that it's Spielberg's War of the Worlds, which remains the very best cinematic treatment of the psychic dislocation and cosmic sense of dread in post-9/11 America.
29) Favorite Dr. Phibes curse (from either film).
From the original: the impalement by unicorn statue, first because it has a certain Italianate surrealism to it that I adore, and second, because what the hell biblical plague was that?!
30) You are programming an all-night Halloween horror-thon for your favorite old movie palace. What five movies make up your schedule?
A chronological tour: the eminently-watchable Nosferatu for the silents, the damn peculiar and fascinating 1933 counter-Universal picture The Vampire Bat for the early talkies, Donovan's Brain for post-War science/horror (and because you need a little bit of kitsch), Fulci's terribly under-appreciated Don't Torture a Duckling for Italy in all its guises, and Halloween, because the day just ain't complete without it.

C'mon, Joan Bennett, if just for her appearance in a billion awesome noirs and SUSPIRIA (she's the seemingly nice headmistress at the school).
- Lucas said...
If one had never seen an Italian horror film, what would you recommend as a good place to start?
- Kevin J. Olson said...
Great answers, Tim. Some specific responses:
5)Interesting that we both went the Italian horror route on that one.
8) I also thought about cheating a bit and putting Zombi 2 for this answer.
9) Again, I almost thought about going with that one, but I thought the misnomer of the fourth Friday the 13th movie killed the franchise...especially since every Friday movie that followed was AWFUL.
11) Hehe. I'm glad I can claim responsibility for you having seen Cheerleader Camp.
15) I'm guessing a lot of people went with John Carpenter. However, I kind of liked the goofiness of Ghosts of Mars. I know I'm probably the only one that liked it (and Vampires for that matter), but compared to something like Escape from L.A. or Village of the Damned I just don't think it's that bad.
26) One of my favorites, too, and I just showed that clip to my class when we were talking about film as a visual literacy. They all freaked out. Only a handful of my students (they range anywhere from 16-19) had seen the movie. It is a lasting image.
30) I'd go to that festival. - 10/26/11, 10:18 AM

Great answers to this quiz, Tim. Ah, those brain creatures from 'Fiend Without a Face'... there's something that's memorable from the 50s monster flicks. Great to meet another THEM! fan. Thanks.
- Mr. K said...
Also, yay for Donovan's Brain love. A strangely effective film, for all the kitschy touches.
- Will said...
I sort of hope someday that you can do a review of some Godzilla stuff. Not all of them, as down that road leads to madness, but at least a few maybe.
- Tim said...
Lucas- Start with Bava, 100%. I'd say Blood and Black Lace, Twitch/Bay, or Black Sunday (aka Mask of the Demon, which is not the same as Black Sabbath, aka Three Faces of Fear). If you can get comfortable with the degree to which his films don't necessarily care about coherence, you should be ready for how Argento's throw coherence into the dumpster.
Will- Perhaps someday... certainly, the impending Criterion Blu-Ray deserves some kind of celebration. - 10/26/11, 9:29 PM

Benefits Britain: What should a right-minded member of society think?
The Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, wants to break the nation's dependency culture and to encourage the long-term unemployed back into the jobs market. But is this just targeting the less well off to cut the bill to the taxpayer or does he have a point?
Sunday 12 February 2012
Nearly a quarter of a million children will see their family lose money under the new benefits cap, with parents forced to cut back on everyday costs or move house, the Government has admitted for the first time. A £26,000 cap on housing benefit and other allowances, to be introduced next year, will affect 220,000 children in 67,000 households across Britain, with the average family losing as much as £83 a week.
The measure is the coalition's latest attempt to control Britain's benefits bill. By the end of March, it will break the £200bn barrier for the first time: double the health budget and four times the amount spent on education or defence.
In the Lords this week, the Government will try to seal the deal on its Welfare Reform Bill, radically changing the way state support is paid to the jobless, disabled and children. From time-limiting support for those whose ability to work is hampered by illness to capping benefits to the average income of working households, the reforms are ambitious, wide-ranging and controversial.
While, on average, families affected by the benefits cap will lose £83 a week, some 17 per cent will lose more than £150.
In The Independent on Sunday today Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, argues the reforms are "about restoring fairness to the benefit claimant through making work pay and fairness to the taxpayer that their money isn't wasted on trapping people on benefits". He says three-quarters of us agree with his changes – but does that make them right?
We investigate the key issues at the heart of the Government's welfare reform agenda – and speak to the people who will be affected.
Benefit cap and bedroom tax
What is the problem?
After state pensions and tax credits, housing benefit constitutes the largest proportion of welfare spending: in 2010/11 it was £21.61bn, with 4.9 million claimants.
Some 670,000 households in the social rented sector in England "under-occupy" their accommodation by two bedrooms or more, while some 1.8 million families are currently on the housing waiting list in England.
What is the proposed solution?
A benefits cap of £26,000 (or £500 a week) on all out-of-work benefits, including housing benefit, jobseeker's allowance, child tax credit and child benefit, will be introduced on households across Britain from 2013. The cap will eventually be administered as part of the new "universal credit".
Separately, an "under-occupancy penalty" (also known as the "bedroom tax") will be imposed on council and housing association tenants living in homes deemed bigger than are needed.
What is the impact?
The Government says 67,000 households will get less money, saving £275m in 2013-14 and £305m in 2014-15.
Inside Housing, has shown how an unemployed couple with five children could easily spend benefits of £500 a week: £102.75 – couple rate for JSA; £24.59 – council tax benefit (Band C); £231.63 child tax credit; £73.90 child benefit. This would leave £67.13 for housing benefit – barely covering rent for a one-bedroom flat in London.
Under the bedroom tax, families would lose around £11 a week if they had one room more than required. Those with two or more extra would lose £20 a week. Tenants would lose an average of £670 a year in HB.
Fairness rating (out of 5): 4
Living with disability
What is the problem?
The number of people claiming disability living allowance has almost trebled from 1.1 million when it was introduced in 1992 to 3.2 million today. The Government estimates that by 2015 it will have topped 3.5 million people. Around 130,000 people receiving DLA have never had their claim re-examined. Some 70 per cent of people are on indefinite awards, even if their condition has improved, while 24 per cent of working-age DLA claimants have not had their claim looked at or changed in 10 years. Ministers claim that £600m of the £12.6bn annual bill is lost through overpayments each year, though more is saved through underpayments elsewhere.
What is the proposed solution?
Disability living allowance replaced by personal independence payments to those aged between 16 and 64, which will still be a non-means-tested, non-taxable cash payment to people in and out of work. It will still have two components – mobility and daily living. Most claims will be for a fixed term, with new assessments being made, mostly face-to-face with an independent health expert. A proposal to withdraw the mobility component from people in residential care has been dropped.
What is the impact?
Campaigners fear that 500,000 people will lose out. The money is paid to help with the additional living costs of being disabled – for example, hiring someone to carry out DIY or running a mobility scooter. Losing that money might mean they are unable to travel to work, or take part in community life.
Fairness rating (out of 5): 3
Sicknote culture
What is the problem?
Employment support allowance, for many, is a disincentive to work. In the first 13 weeks, claimants receive up to £67.50 (£53.45 for under-25s). From the 14th week, claimants are split between the Support Group, where they receive up to £99.85 a week and are not expected to work, and the Work-Related Activity Group, where they are expected to take part in work-focused interviews and receive up to £94.25 a week.
What is the proposed solution?
Limiting payments to the Work-Related Activity Group to 12 months. Around 60 per cent of ESA claimants stop claiming within a year.
What is the impact?
Around 700,000 will be affected, with two-fifths receiving nothing.
Fairness rating (out of 5): 2
Single parents
What is the problem?
Until 2008, single parents with a child under 16 could claim income support, which does not require a person to look for work. In November 2008, the age threshold for the youngest child was reduced to 12, and in October 2010 the Government reduced it again to seven. Parents with children over that age must instead claim jobseeker's allowance, or, if they have a disability, employment and support allowance.
What is the proposed solution?
To drop the age threshold for the youngest child to five, to encourage more single parents to look for work. Parents would have to claim JSA and actively seek employment, or claim ESA and show they had a health condition.
What is the impact?
Forcing single parents to find work at an earlier age will mean they have to find affordable childcare – which will be even more difficult under the Government's cuts to tax credits. The Government estimates that 15,000 single parents will be helped into employment, which they claim in turn will reduce child poverty, but it is thought that a total of 75,000 people will be affected by the change. It should save £250m.
Fairness rating (out of 5): 3
Universal credit
What is the problem?
The Government complains that the present system of more than 50 in-work and out-of-work benefits is too complicated and deters people from looking for work.
What is the proposed solution?
To combine the six major means-tested benefits, including tax credits, into a single universal payment. The Government claims the new benefit "will make work worthwhile at any number of hours, rather than clumping support around the 16- and 30-hour points". In nearly 1.1 million "workless" households, working just 10 hours a week would cut 70 per cent from an individual's benefits entitlement.
What is the impact?
Some 1.7 million households will have less money than under the existing system – and claimants will not see their entitlement uprated in line with inflation in future years. Women's groups have pointed out that, in many households, a single benefit would inevitably be paid directly to the man, leaving the woman dependent on her partner for her finances. It will actually cost £2bn (£4bn extra from entitlement changes and increased take-up, minus £2bn in reduced fraud, error and overpayments, etc.)

Helen Searle
Helen Searle, 37, from Buckinghamshire, has cerebral palsy and experiences seizures
She stopped part-time work as a cashier eight years ago suffering from exhaustion and bad pain in her legs and back. She receives employment and support allowance as well as just over £400 in disability living allowance. She will have to undergo a medical reassessment under plans to move her on to personal independence payments. She worries her entitlements will be reduced under the new system.
"I think I will lose out; I have heard the three rates of the care component in DLA will be cut down under personal independence payment. I'm on the middle rate, so where am I going to go? For me, disability doesn't fit into a tick box system. Disabled people are going to have to undergo regular assessment. But as my condition is not going to go away, they're just creating more paperwork. My DLA pays for fuel to and from the hospital, prescription charges and extra heating costs. If there is any left over, it goes on wheelchair maintenance. None of it is being used on lavish holidays."
James Crombie
James Crombie, 41, lives with wife Jenny, 34, in Liverpool. Has four children, Samantha, 20, Jade, 19, Faye, nine, and Alfie, five
James acts as a full-time carer for Faye, who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, while his wife, who has a muscular disability, does not work. Receiving an estimated £27,000 in benefits, the family would lose £1,000 of their income under the benefit cap. Because they will also have at least one spare room while their older children are at university, they also face losing more than £11 a week in housing benefit under the proposed bedroom tax. James feels he "is being hit from all sides".
"People imagine we sit around not doing anything and, generally, I understand what they are saying. There is high unemployment in the North, but I would love to go and get a job and do a full day's work; I never get a day off. I help Faye with everything: toilet needs, washing and dressing. If I lose £11 or more a week on housing cuts, I couldn't move out – the house is all fitted up for Faye. I would have to find cuts from one of the other benefits. It might come down to me literally not eating for a night."
Julian Rutter
The former water engineer, 44, from Crystal Palace had rare cancer of the jejunum (part of the small intestine) and was treated with surgery but refused chemotherapy
He has received employment and support allowance since April last year, and is in the Work-Related Activity Group so is at risk of losing the payment from April this year.
"It is quite difficult to get hold of employment and support allowance. I have had it since April 2011. Why should cancer patients feel like they are being persecuted? There shouldn't be time limits on cancer. I spend £100-a-week on organic fruit and vegetables for my diet. There is additional washing, hot water requirements, larger utility bills. I have gone from a good standard of living down to being terrified of being unable to pay the bills. The press sensationalise a couple of incidents but there are many people out there who genuinely need this benefit. Hopefully I will be able to go back to work and I can put money back into the exchequer. I have paid my taxes all my life, but when I ask for a bit of assistance I am made to feel ashamed. It is all very well for the Government to sit in their ivory tower but not everyone is so fortunate. When you are worried about your health, the last thing you need is to have the financial rug pulled from under you."
Marie Eadie
The 24-year-old, from Glasgow, is a single full-time mother to Andrew, five, and Dionne, four
Marie has two months to go until her youngest turns five and she is moved off income support and on to jobseeker's allowance.
The money she receives, approximately £100 a fortnight, will not be affected by the change, but she will be required actively to seek work or risk a benefit cut. Having been out of work for seven years, Maria says she feels daunted by the prospect of job-hunting when both her children are so young.
"I don't disagree with the idea that there should be a cut-off point and a moment when people are pushed into work, but I haven't had to sign on for a long time, so it's a bit scary to have to start looking for a job instantly. Before, when you had until your youngest was seven, you had time to gather information, find jobs and childcare – because they'd been in school for two years. Now, I'm looking for jobs – cleaning or at Asda – but most don't fit around my children's hours. It's hard for me to leave them; it is a big step for a mother and we should have plenty of time to prepare."
Nicky Robson
Single parent, 43, from Norfolk, has two children, Tilly, six, and Scarlett, four
Working part-time, 18 hours a week, as a self-employed dance teacher, Nicky receives £740 a month in working and child tax credits to boost the estimated £7,000 profit her teaching brings in. Using her tax credits to cover childcare costs, £400 a month and other expenses, she says it would be hard to cope without them. Unsure how she will be affected under plans to roll all work-related benefits into one universal credit, she says the uncertainty is making her nervous.
"The current system is not complicated in the slightest; it all comes to me in one single payment. The uncertainty of the changes does worry me, because I do need that money; I haven't even got used to the Iast changes in the system yet. I would like to work more hours, but it's not practical at the moment, as I have to be home to pick the kids up and put them to bed every night. I believe there should be a cap on benefits, but they are focusing on the wrong people – I want to work, but if my credits go down, it won't be worthwhile."
Expert view
"This Bill locks in cuts to childcare, takes tax credits from those who save, and cuts support for those who need it most."
Liam Byrne, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary
"Penalising people for their failure to live in smaller homes when rents are regulated is irrational and socially divisive."
David Orr, Chief executiveNational Housing Federation
"Single-parent families are already twice as likely to live in poverty as couple families, and it is simply unjust that many of them will be worse off in future."
Fiona Weir, Chief executive, Gingerbread
"The Government should reduce the cap to match workers' real median take-home earnings: £21,000."
Sally Thompson, Adam Smith Institute
"This Bill has very little to do with reducing poverty. A very high percentage of welfare actually goes to people in work."
Julia Unwin, Chief executive,Joseph Rowntree Foundation
"Disabled people have been telling Government that the plans will backfire, making it even harder for them to live independently and contribute to their community."

Who Wore It Better: Elizabeth Hurley or Lady Gaga
week, Lady Gaga took a page from Elizabeth Hurley's style book and wore
a daring safety pin dress from Versace. Elizabeth Hurley first wore the
dress in 1994 at a red carpet premiere for her film "Four Weddings and a
Funeral." She wore black heels and chunky gold jewelry. Lady Gaga was
spotted with the same dress this week at Milan Fashion Week and wore
black platform boots. Who do you think wore this iconic dress best?

Recipe by DEESOSA
"Outdoor cooking without the mess! Chicken breasts topped with peppered bacon are sealed together with potatoes, carrots, and onions in individual foil pouches. Perfect for the grill, or even right on the campfire coals."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound peppered bacon
3 medium potatoes, chopped
3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup butter
garlic salt to taste
Since we tried this recipe, we've gone nuts with it. Everybody wants to do their own little "packet" and pick their own vegetables. Nothing gets waisted, everybody's happy and THE GRILL STAYS CLEAN. We'll be doing this all summer.
This recipe was delicious but I would omit the chicken. Chicken came out very dry and flavorless. I would follow the recipe for some tasty veggies and then grill the chicken separately.
72 Ratings
I do this in the oven AND on the grill. If you get a seasoned or marinated piece of meat the veggies are even more flavorful let alone the meat. This is a HUGE hit with the kids and with me... I love the lack of clean up!!! Also... I think those over cooked potatoes on the bottom are delish!! Turn half way through cooking to avoid scorching. Mini carrots caramelize and are fabulous! Haven't had this recipe listed... but make mine fequently.
Sooo good! And surprisingly juicey! I seared my chicken breasts in a pan first and than placed the chicken ontop of red potatoes and carrots. I added an onion slice ontop of that and than followed the rest of the recipe. I did cook my red potatoes in the microwave for 3 mins after they were chopped. I read other reviews saying their potatoes weren't cooked all the way through and that would solve the problem. A total keeper! Thank you!
Everyone loved it. I liked the cleanup. My problem was the potatoes on the bottom of the foil pouch burned.
I've made this/similar recipes by double-layering the foil and putting it on the outskirts of a campfire, on a grill, in the oven, and w/o the foil en masse in a pressure cooker. I don't add butter to it, but instead add zesty italian dressing over the top. Everyone I've ever served this to has loved it and has started doing it themselves.
Very good and easy. I sprayed the aluminum foil with cooking spray to keep the potatoes from sticking. I had no problem with them burning. But, I made sure to flip the packet over so they weren't on the bottom. The only change I would make would be to marinate the chicken ahead of time to give it some more flavor.
We made this on the campfire coals and it was a big success! Spray the foil. We changed the order from the bottom building up; Slice of onion(buffer to keep chicken from burning), then chicken, bacon, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, butter & also added Lawry's Garlic and Herb Marinade.

To measure an observable of a quantum mechanical system leaves it in one of its eigenstates and the result of the measurement is one of its eigenvalues. This process is shown to be a computational resource: Hermitean (N ×N) matrices can be diagonalized, in principle, by performing appropriate quantum mechanical measurements. To do so, one considers the given matrix as an observable of a single spin with appropriate length s which can be measured using a generalized Stern-Gerlach apparatus. Then, each run provides one eigenvalue of the observable. As the underlying working principle is the `collapse of the wavefunction' associated with a measurement, the procedure is neither a digital nor an analogue calculation - it defines thus a new example of a quantum mechanical method of computation.

The Best of Artisan Cosmetics
All-natural, artisanally made cosmetics put to the test.
If you wouldn't eat your bath and body products, you're using the wrong stuff, says Teporah Bilezikian, owner of the makeup company Monavé: "Cosmetics are like fresh batches of pudding — they shouldn't last six months." All-natural and handcrafted small-batch skin- and hair-care products used to be less accessible, but these days, there are more than ever. We tested a selection of products for both men and women. Here's what we found.
Ladies, put down your Pantene. (1) Red Leaf's shampoo bar ($11, etsy.com/shop/shopredleaf), created with ingredients sourced from the Seattle area, produces a surprising amount of suds and left my hair feeling cleaner than my usual shampoo. Next, my face: Of the cleansers and toners I tested, my favorite was (2) Angel Face Botanicals' Rose Crystal Toner ($32, angelfacebotanicals.com), which claims to contain a magic elixir, extracted from rose-quartz gems, that aids moisture absorption and reduces wrinkles. Whether it was the quartz or pixie dust, my face felt refreshed — and ready for makeup. (3) Craftiness's pink dymondwood and sable kabuki-style brush ($17, etsy.com/shop/craftiness) is ultrasoft (and ultra-girly). With it, I dusted on (4) Monavé's silk garnet blush ($14, monave.com), a mineral makeup that gives better coverage than a typical drugstore powder. Finally, I tested 13 scents. One, Theme Fragrance's Paisley Too, was a reminder of the tricky alchemy of perfumery; it was cloying, as if chocolate Lip Smacker lip balm had been liquefied. But (5) Theme's Lotus Lake ($15, themefragrance.com) shows what happens when it's done right. The subtle sandalwood-and-tea mix — a top seller for creator Elizabeth Morrison — is light, delicate, and deceptively simple. — Stephanie Schomer
You never see razor burn in old photographs. For all our modern tools — lubricating gels, moisturizing balms with SPF — an apothecary-style morning ritual combining today's knowledge with old-time techniques may be a better way. I started with a (1) Semogue shaving brush, handmade in Portugal by a small family business. The stiff boar bristles of the 1520 brush ($21, fendrihan.com) felt so great while exfoliating my skin that I may start brushing my face for fun. I used it with (2) GentlemEns Refinery's Black Ice shave cream ($28, thegr.com), developed by Las Vegas master barber Perry Gastis. Its light pink hue and whiff of anise (an anti-inflammatory) shocked me at first, but it builds a rich, not-too-thick lather. I finished off my face like my old man did, with an aftershave splash; (3) Portland General Store's whiskey aftershave ($12, etsy.com/shop/portlandgeneralstore), an alcohol- and sting-free Depression-era recipe made in small batches in Maine, tightens pores. To complete the nostalgic regimen, I dabbed on a little (4) Madame Scodioli Gray Skies solid scent ($7, etsy.com/shop/scodioli), a warm, strong sandalwood-like fragrance made by hand by a mysterious bearded woman in Kansas. The air is redolent with stories I've heard and characters I've met — and I never even left my bathroom sink. — David Lidsky

I've used Beth's Theme Fragrance for seven years -- particularly the artisan scent that uses calla lily, as well as Bows and Eros, Seashell and Sarong. I've given it as a gift to movie stars, mother-in-laws, famous authors, talk show hosts including she-who-needs-no-last name and have never received a comment except, "THIS is enthralling! Where can I get some?" I will never wear anything else and I scoff at designer fragrances that ask me for $90 a bottle.

I recently had a TB test - yea! yuck! Well, besides being sick to my stomach since it's been done I had a strange reaction: at the site of injection, it got all red and internally sore. Could this be a reaction simply because I am vegan? <-- for at least 10 yrs now! I do not have TB - so says the arm... but I am still kind of "ugh" and bloated feeling; I've had now change in my eating at all - no accidental ingestion of animal anything, I'm a stickler of where I get my food from. If this is due to my veganism, when will I start to feel better? Thanks for your input! Susan

Carrier-envelope-phase dependent coherence in double quantum wells
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 18, pp. 15402-15408 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (239 KB)
By analyzing the interaction of a few-cycle laser pulse within an asymmetric semiconductor double quantum well structure, we show that the transient coherence thus produced is strongly dependent on the carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) and significantly enhanced due to the Fano-type interference. A method to determine the CEP is proposed by directly mapping the CEP dependent coherence to the quantum beat signals.

What Weapon/Sigil pairings do you guys like? I have been just putting Accuracy in all my MH or 2H Weapons and Water in my OH, but I am sure it is not the optimal or most interesting set up.
I would really like to hear what others are using and if they don't mind sharing the thought process behind the choices that would be great.

I noticed a few months ago that Mariano's now carries Revolution Brewing beer in cans. Since Rev has gotten their brewery on Kedzie going (separate from the brew pub on Milwaukee), they are now canning their beer. I've seen it at Vas Foremost, our local liquor store, which is almost across the street from the brew pub, and at Mariano's. I haven't seen the cans at any other local grocery stores yet. Mariano's has the Anti-Hero IPA, Bottom Up Wit, and Eugene Porter.

Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival
August 1st, 2011 · 1 Comment
The first year we lived in Logan Square we missed the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival because we had conflicting plans. Last year I took my niece Jess through and it was alright, but not great. This year it has finally all come together. The fest seemed really improved and we were able to invite some friends over and make an evening of it. Here is what I liked:
Revolution Brewing sponsored the festival and all of the beer there was brewed by them. I drank only the Bottom Up Wit (Refreshing Belgian-style wheat beer spiced with coriander and orange peel. Made with organic malt and wheat.), but there was also the Rosa (Tart summer ale infused with 20 lbs of Hibiscus flowers and touch of orange peel. Elegantly refreshing and defiantly delicious.), Anti-Hero IPA (An American hop assault for all the ambivalent warriors who get the girl in the end. "Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess.") and Coup d' Etat (Dry, spicy French-style saison dry hopped with German Select hops.).
In addition, sangria was provided by Lula, the popular Logan Square restaurant and wine was provided by Telegraph, Logan Square's brand new wine bar. I loved how all the drinks were sponsored by bars and restaurants that were only a block or two away. I don't think I've ever seen this at a Chicago festival before. I mean, the beer was made right there. Now, maybe next year we can get the food to be more local.
Another thing I liked was that we were on the square, which means grass and shade. Many times you go to a Chicago festival and there's nowhere to stand or sit except in the hot sun on the burning hot asphalt. At this festival we got our drinks and walked across the street to the shaded, grassy park. So much more comfortable.
Thirdly: Art. It was an art fest, afterall. Along Milwaukee Avenue there were curated art exhibits and pop-up galleries in empty storefronts and sponsoring establishments. There were also all kinds of different art activities that featured more than 200 artists in over 30 exhibits. The only exhibit I went to was located in the Logan Square Comfort Station, which was conveniently located directly behind the beer tent. The exhibit was Folding Time: Explorations of Surface Reality, a showing of mixed media paintings by Chicago artist Jason Brammer. Pretty interesting.
We spent all of our time at time nearby the main stage at Milwaukee and Kedzie and the music there was pretty good. We enjoyed a mostly all-girl band (only the drummer was a guy) called Hollows. There was also a stage at Milwaukee and Kimball and one closer to our condo, the Cole's stage at Milwaukee & Belden.
I bought this hat for Dallas. Do you like it? |

Finally, and probably the best part, our awesome friends who came to the fest with us. In addition to the people above, we also saw Andy and Katie, who just got engaged about a week ago. And Dallas and I also talked to Jack for a while. Jack cuts our hair and his salon, Mops, was a fest sponsor.
Alden and I were standing in line to get a taco when we saw Dallas purchase and drink a pina colada served in a pineapple. What the heck!? I have no idea what he was thinking since he is never one to order a fruity drink. Must have been the new hat I bought him!
We left shortly after and everyone came back to our house. We had been slow cooking pork all day while we were away. Dallas also made blue cheese coleslaw and I made a caprese couscous salad ahead of time, so we all feasted and sat out on our roof deck, where it was a perfect summer night.

A trifecta of treys in a 73-second stretch in the fourth quarter gave the Wapakoneta Redskins the lead and staked them to 7-point advantage they never relinquished in a battle Thursday against the Kenton Wildcats in their Western Buckeye League opener.
Redskin junior guard Nicole Brown hit back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers to give Wapakoneta a 50-49 lead at the 5:09 mark in the fourth quarter in a see-saw affair and then put the dagger in Kenton's comeback hopes with a second trey at the 4:36 mark and a third with 3:56 left in the quarter putting the Redskins up 56-49.
WAYNESFIELD — Waynesfield-Goshen junior Kaylee Patton needed 16 points Thursday night to eclipse the 1,000 point mark in her varsity girls basketball career.
And she needed less than two quarters to do it.
Patton passed the mark with a reverse layup with 1:37 left in the half, then went on to score a team-high 24 points to lead the Tigers to a 56-40 win over the Perry Commodores in the Northwest Central Conference opener for both teams.
"It's amazing," Kaylee Patton said. "My teammates really help me out. They hit some outside shots and that let me get to the inside."

Queensland golfer nearly boarded flight MH370
Pro golfer Wayne Perske describes his "sliding door moment" when he didn't board flight MH370 and instead flew home to Brisbane.
PT0M0S 620 349- Autoplay OnOff
- Video feedback

It was a coin-toss chance that pulled professional golfer Wayne Perske off the ill-fated Malaysian Airlines flight frighteningly close to take off.
After a nasty bout of food poisoning saw him retire early from an event in Kuala Lumpur, the 39-year-old father of two from Brisbane was scheduled to fly to Beijing to join the Chinese PGA qualifying school.

His seat was booked on flight MH370.
But in the 24 hours before take-off, he was told he had been drawn to play in the second week of qualifying, rather than the first.
Instead of boarding the flight, which is now believed to have crashed into the southern Indian Ocean, he travelled home to his young family in Brisbane.
"Too bloody close for comfort!" he tweeted on March 8, the day the plane disappeared.

On Friday morning he told 2UE radio he was feeling "extremely lucky" to be at home with his wife and kids.
"I obviously looked at the news [when I got to Brisbane] and saw, and it's just sort of escalated over the last however many days the poor buggers have been lost, just wondering what could have happened," he said.
"It's a weird feeling. Having travelled the world for 15 years playing golf, it's one of those things that only happens to other people, you know, planes going down … As time goes on, I'm reflecting."

NEWPORT BEACH – The U.S. Navy has responded to a Newport Beach letter requesting advance notice for military flyover tributes, stating that no notice will be given unless the city code is changed to require it.
Mayor Nancy Gardner said she would suggest such a change at the next City Council meeting on Sept. 25, Corona del Mar Today reports.
The issue arose after a memorial was held for a World War II hero John Francis (Jack) Callahan, who died Feb. 19 at age 94. Callahan was a decorated flier in the war, and his son wanted to incorporate a military tribute as part of his March 24 memorial service at the Balboa Yacht Club.
No advance notice was given to city officials, and the unexpected appearance of four F-18s followed by two World War II T-6s startled many local residents, who flooded the police station with calls. Gardner said at the time that she thought the planes were going to crash into her house.
In April, City Manager Dave Kiff sent a letter to Rep. John Campbell (R-Irvine), asking for the congressman's assistance in working with the military to secure advance notification for future flyovers. Campbell received a reply dated Sept. 11 from J.M. Phillips, a congressional liaison in the Pentagon.
"Your concern in this matter is appreciated, and I regret the delay in responding to your correspondence," the letter said, adding that they had investigated the incident with Marine officials in Camp Pendleton and in San Diego.
"We were informed that by standing directive, the 3d MAW (3rd Marine Aircraft Wing) does not assume responsibility for advance coordination with, or notification of, city officials for the municipalities under the air space where aerial support and other air operations are conducted," the letter said. "However, city governments may enact ordinances to regulate or restrict requests from the community for military aerial support for events located within their city limits."
The 3d MAW is responsible for coordinating such events, the letter states, so they comply with FAA air-space regulations and local air traffic control agencies.
For Callahan's flyover, the letter states that Marines worked with Southern California TRACON for air traffic control coordination. Kiff said TRACON generally is operated out of San Diego.
He has previously said that John Wayne Airport officials did not seem to be aware of the Callahan flyover.
"On March 24, 2012, the funeral fly-over was executed with a flight of four F/A-18s that were in radio communication with Southern California Approach Control," the letter states. "It consisted of a single pass at an altitude of 1,000 feet above ground level at an airspeed of 300 knots, with one F/A-18 executing a climbing left turn to an altitude of 3,500 feet to effect the 'missing man' formation."
Gardner said in an email that she planned to suggest that the city require advance notification for flyovers, which the military would then have to honor, as the Navy's letter states.
"I think it's good for the city to have notice," Gardner said in an email. "In today's world, it doesn't take much to alarm us, and for us to be able to provide notice will allay concerns. I also think that some people, on learning of a flyover to commemorate someone might go out and watch and add their respects."

I'll try to clear it up. <!
is a markup declaration open delimiter, for example a doctype declarations and comment declarations. Whatever follows <!

The issue occurs because the comment open delimiter is the same as the comment close delimiter. --
both opens and closes the comment so <!-- --this comment was just closed before the word this and not after the rest of this text -->
Does that help?

No indicator, every light comes on in dashboard! Hi every body, I have a 2001 Freelander V6 SE. Every once in a while, when I indicate (either right or left), the tacho drops to 0, every light on the dashboard lights up and the indicator don't work. This can lasts for a little while or some times. Can anyone help me?? Thank you. |

Hi Gabe, Were you able to get your problem sorted? I have a similar situation with mine. Seems as if some sort of test sequence is going on, because among others the seatbelt and handbrake lights go on, and I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong in those departments. Presumably the equnce is being triggered by the ignition switch mechanism of its own accord. Interested in any more info. Thanks for the tip, woko. Cheers, Mark K. |

Ignition switch gone again!!! Please help!! This is the third time I'm having this problem in less than 2 years!! I've replaced the switch at the back of the ignition back in march but it's gone again!! 3 fault switches in 2 years??? Thank you for any input. Gabe |

Hi woko, at the moment, there are no lights coming on. There is a clicking sound as soon as i insert the key into the ignition. Also once in a while, totally random, the power drops off, car almost stalls and then all of the sudden it picks up again like nothing has happened. Thank you Gabe |

I still can't believe the England followers who were nervous at any stage of a 546 run chase. How you would have coped in 1981 I can't imagine, or if you are old enough to remember it I'm surprised you lived to tell the tale.

I do remember, but I was at school for many of the big moments then. Anyway my nerves have got frayed and all my optimism in my cricket team has been utterly eroded through bitter defeats, or the eighties(barring Australia) and nineties as they were commonly known.

There are a lot of things I like about Louise Bell's Table Tonic blog. One of them is her Thank You Roll Call as I like to call it. Quite regularly (if not weekly) she posts to acknowledge any mentions that Table Tonic has had in Bloggington (and believe me there are OODLES so it's no rush job!). Though FHOTR (not a convenient acronym I know!) doesn't draw anywhere near that kind of attention (yet, I'm ever hopeful) I think it's a lovely idea and one of the ones that keeps the blogging community connected.
So without further fuss I have ONE thank you to say for this week - to Tomas & Jones. You made my day on Thursday when I found you'd listed FHOTR as one of the blogs you've been reading and enjoying lately (in there with Dear Little House and Design Files so delighted). Thanks girls! It's been so lovely to get back and catch up on all your posts too.
Happy Weekend (is there any other kind?) everyone!

New Store: Oliveaux
Thought you should all know that Oliveaux, a wonderful boutique interior design store has opened up in Brisbane this week (specifically, at 16 Logan Road, Woolloongabba).
Since establishing the Oliveaux blog in 2008, Amanda Harris has amassed a significant following in Bloggington and it's easy to see why. I'm certain her shop will be just as enthusiastically received and I for one cannot wait to stop by on my next visit to Brisbane.

Cannot for the life of me work out how to download the image straight from the magazine (and yes, I do realise that is the point) so you'll either have to take my word for it or pop over here and have a look for yourself.

Being a silver girl at heart, it hasn't eluded me that lately a fair bit of gold seems to be calling my name. Interesting.

Find Of The Day
Remember Gwyneth's funky YUBZ handset over here? Well I found a similar one from Native Union over at Peters of K and was compelled to buy it. Compelled.
It's kind of ridiculous and wonderful all at the same time.

At Home: Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi
While I was away a new issue of AD landed, this one featuring the new home of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi. I'm sure it's well and truly done the rounds of Bloggington but as it's new to me you'll have to pardon the repeat.
Portia & Ellen sit in front of an Andy Warhol collaboration in their living room.
The pair added a screened porch.
Currently being a little-bit-more-than-usual obsessed with shoes, I am loving this closet.

As summer draws closer here in the southern hemisphere, this beautiful pool is very enticing.

Rimmel London Special Eyes Precision Eye Liner Pencil Review and Swatches
I dunno how much you use eye liner but if you use it alot or you're just on the hunt for something cheaper the new Rimmel London Special Eyes Precision Eye Liner Pencil should do you well.
A super cheap, creamy eyeliner that will set you back a mere $3-$4 at your local drugstores!
Well, I will say it's not the best eyeliner in the world but it does get my seal of approval for its budget friendly price tag. Formula is creamy, dreamy, and glides onto your eye with minimal fuss, tugging, or drama.
For a drugstore eyeliner it has a formula that kills it. I got the shade Black Magic which is a richly pigmented shade with a nice pop of drama. If it's rocker chick eyes you crave, Black Magic is your girl.
You have your pick of eyeliners available at the drugstore but you probably won't find a cheaper option and not one with such a nice creamy formula that glides on brilliantly!
Sadly, doesn't last long on the waterline and tends to smear a little bit. I rarely suffer from raccoon eyes but used on my waterline I experience a bit of smearing and smudging as the day progresses a la a bit of raccoon action going on.
- Ladies searching for a creamy eyeliner that will set them back a few bucks.
- Anyone who likes hardcore black liner, Joan Jett style yo!
- Anyone with oily lids or eyes in general (this may smear up a bit even with dry skin)
For the price you can't beat this one. A little drama with smearing but careful application seems to avoid this woe easily. I simply make sure that I apply it easily versus super fast (anytime I apply liner quickly I end up running outside of my waterline and this leads to smearing and the likes). I wouldn't recommend it over say a MAC Eyeliner but this is still a hell of alot cheaper than anything else you'll find out there and it works pretty well.
Not too bad at all!
Any fans?
This product was purchased by the Muse for review purposes.

I really like most of Rimmel's products… I randomnly picked up the Spark it Up! eyeliner in Peridot… it's a gorgeous sparkling emerald green, and for a glitter pencil, it's so smooth!
Maybe I'll check this one out.-
6/22/10 16:40 the Muse:
must check that one wendy

I love Rimmel eyeliner. I use their exaggerate waterproof eye definer (basically a twist up eyeliner) in noir (black magic is my favorite rimmel shade but I'm not sure if they make this product in that shade or not). Anyway, it stays on oily lids a lot better than their other formulas. As for undereyes, I've had mine on since 6 am this morning (it's now past 2 here) and it's still kicking, no smudge in sight.

hey courtney good to hear it

Just out of curiosity, what is the best eyeliner you've ever used?? I have somewhat oily skin, and my tear line is constantly going b/c of allergies right now, so I've been having the same problem with this eyeliner — I got it for free when I purchased The Max Mascara, which I LOVE!! I truly think it's the best drugstore mascara I've ever purchased. (Thanks for the review on it BTW!! )
6/25/10 15:39 the Muse:
hey elaina! At the moment I really like korres eyeliner but I'm sure i'll change my mind in a few weeks! lol! omg awesome so glad you like the max, great stuff!

….Oooh. Call me crazy, but I really like the idea of having something that'll smear easily- I like the tired look. (I usually call it the 'L' look. Like… L. From the series Death Note)

<3 death note Sarah
8/7/11 15:12 Morgan:
I have something sorta like this by rimmel. It works very well but im not very good with putting on eyeliner because it always looks to thick and covers almost a forth of my eyelid and if you think about it, thats alot! I have tried liquid but it always smears and I dont have the patience to fix it so pencil is my calling. Please give me a few helpful hints on how to get a perfectly straight streak lower into my lashline.
